Oh ofcourse I could have mentioned them I just mentioned the Venus because there are a lot Indicators for Life. Which are unseen on other planets (because we lack data)


Europa is ofcourse a big candidate. And an ocean under the surface is pretty much a fact because there is no other explanation for the cracks and we know that IO (another Jupiter moon) is so extremly heated up and the most vulcanic active object we know because he is near to Jupiter and the tidal effect from Jupiter is huge the same effect also effects Europa but a little fewer. The ocean under the surface is accepted by 99% of the scientist and this happens almost never.

Infact it would be possible to release Extromophile Bacterias from our earth in to the Ocean and they could live. They said that the ocean under the surface is probably full of oxygen andthe oxygen is transported in the ocean via the surface.

And there are rose stripes across the whole planet which could be bacteria.

Titan is a very special moon. If there is life it has definetly nothing to do with our life on earth and would be ground breaking.

But there are some theorys that a sort of Life is just under development on Titan. Our life needed 3 Billion years to grow from bacteria to multiple cell organism. So a Hypothetical Evolution on Titan could be slowed down. Because it gets much lesser energy then earths Life it could be 10 times slower. But we know that in 3 Billion years our sun will be expanding so Titan (Europa) would be both in habitable Zone Titan is farer away but has a thick isolating Atmosphere so it would make up this deficit.

I am convinced that basic life (bacterias maybe primitiv algea) could be common in the whole milkyway. But as you said complex life is probably extremly rare. But I am confident that atleast 1 other planet in our galaxy could give birth to complex life.

And there are theorys which say that most planets which have good conditions for life dont even have a sun. There is a belt in the milkyway in this area the sky is always bright because the stars are so extremly dense that they are emitting enough light to heat up a planet even if he is flying trough the space without any gravitational bond to a star. This is ofcourse a speculation which cant be proven in our life time and not even a common theory. We just dont know. But with Kepler we will be watching 150k stars at once for 4-6 years and we could be able to detect hundreds of planets of earth size and we could make better prognosis for life in the galaxy. But even if there are earth like planets its not sure that they gave birth to human like intelligence because we had a lot luck for example if we wouldnt have a oort cloud there would never be an asteroid which killed the dinosaurs and they would be still the dominating species. And complex Intelligence is not always an evolutionary advantage.
